    Question Side shoot target size

    Hi All

    I have a feeling that GaryP asked a similar question, but what size is the Cookie?

    Original pdf file document is 23"x16" !!

    Even my A3 printer won't stretch to that. Do we print it reduced to A3 or A4 ?

    Even reduced at A4 size, its a sizable target, but I must admit, I was practicing with it yesterday and its more of a challenge than I thought it would be. The angled elipses are a bugger to hit
    Going to shoot my score card this afternoon for the side shoot
    Will be interesting to see how my little p23 does with it shooting pellets & BB's.

    All I had to do was print it out on it's own setting on A4.

    The target is managable & all cookie chips are clear , however it doesn't with my scoring as I'm still pants with it

    Hope That Helps

    Get your score is ASAP.

    I aint gonna spoil the suspence, but I decided to use my Crosman 357 for the main Co2 Pistol comp.
    Once I had decided on pellet and set the sights best I could; I decided to go straight to comp rules and skip the warm up shots (figured I'd had about that many setting the sights), I amazed myself with my score
    Well its not exactly gold medal material but I was very, very pleased.
    Just the spring entry to do this evening.

    I did the Cookie shoot yesterday and well........ I wasnt impressed with my marksmanship

    Hows every one else doing? Dont give your scores please just say if you think you've improved on last scores or what.
    Mind you how many of you guys have actually done the shoot? Hope your not going to be waiting till last second.

    The awards this time will have both your score out of 200 and the gun that you used included on the certificate.

    All the best

    My scores (SSP category) dropped a tad from last month's. So far this month I've done the SSP category; still need to do the CO2 category (main, and side shoots), which I'm starting this month.

    Wink Hello from a New Gal

    Hello to you from Jan McArthur! I am the wife of Jim McArthur, and am excited about being a part of the competition.

    Jim has graciously allowed me to use his pistols for now, but I think I know what I will be getting for my birthday in September!!! (hint, hint)

    This is a fun hobby, and so much nicer than having to go to a stuffy range to fire cartridge pistols. Jim and I can step out into our lovely back yard and shoot air pistols.

    Jim has assured me that this group is a lot of fun, and I am glad to be a part of it. Are there any other women on the list?

    Jan

    Red face So many pistols to choose from....!

    I have been shopping this morning on Pyramid Arms and have found three possibilities. I would like to ask your opinions on them.

    The first is the Marksman 1010 Classic BB repeater, a cheap little gun, but with good reviews.

    The second is the Crossman 357 Revolver. It has excellent reviews, except for the grips.

    The last, and the one I tend to like the best, is the most expensive of course! It is the Smith and Wesson 686 that Jim has.

    However, Jim says that the 586 (which I have not looked up yet, and might be even nicer than the 686) might be better, because I cand get a smaller barrel, and can also get three interchangable barrels of varying lengths.

    So, what do you guys think?
